Why Phonological Awareness Matters

Research shows that a child’s ability to hear, manipulate, and understand phonemes directly impacts their reading and writing success. While some children pick up these skills naturally, others need a little extra guidance. That’s where these cards come in!

• Proven to Work: Explicit instruction in phonological awareness accelerates reading and writing achievement (Bus & Van IJzendoorn, 1999; Ehri et al., 2001).
• Enhanced by Visuals: The included dry-erase visual display card allows instructors to add letters for a multisensory approach, helping students connect sounds to letters (Erbeli et al., 2024).
